It has for an object to provide an improved means for including a ply of waterproof material therein.

A further object of this invention is an improved means'for securing the ply and waterproof material therein.

Referring to the drawings, 10 and 11 indicate the plies of material of which the diaper is made and these plies of material are secured to one another about the majorportions ofthe edges as indicated as by stitch-' ing passing through a tape 12 which is folded over the meeting edges of said plies of material. The interval between the ends of the tape 12 is left free from stitching to provide an opening permitting ac cess between the plies of material 10 and 11.

A ply of rubberized fabric or other waterproof material 13 which is cut to triangular configuration to conform the general out lines of the plies of matter 10 and 11 may be inserted through the opening, between these plies of material as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

- This article is applied in the usual manner when the points of the triangular formation may be secured by the usual formof safety pin while the safety pin 14:, necessaryn supporting the back of the garment also holds the waterproof material in place.

The drawings are submitted for illustrative purposes only and this invention is.

not restricted to the limited form shown as modifications may be made within the scope of this invention.

Having thus described my invention I claim:
